According to Dr. Sarah Johnson, a leading expert in child welfare, "Care workers play a vital role in supporting children and young people to access education and reach their full potential. Their dedication and commitment are essential in ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive."

With the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating existing inequalities in education, care workers have faced unprecedented challenges in supporting children and young people. The closure of schools and disruption to learning has highlighted the need for innovative approaches to education and increased support for vulnerable students.

Despite these challenges, care workers have shown resilience and creativity in adapting to the new normal. From providing online tutoring sessions to organizing educational activities in care settings, care workers have gone above and beyond to ensure that children and young people continue to receive the education they deserve.

As we look towards the future, it is clear that the role of care workers in promoting education will only become more critical. By investing in training and resources for care workers, we can empower them to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and young people.
